The expansion tank or radiator was nearly empty, You dont fill up the
expansion tank completely, the word Expansion tells all, look for the
Cold and Hot level markings before panicking and paying alot for
something you may not need, can you open the radiator cap, it should
be full, the expansion tank is at its lowest level cold, if you filled
it up cold, it just overflows when hot, read the levels and your
manual.

I believe that it could ? be loose head bolts at the firewall.

This year and 2002 `s are notorious for having head bolts come loose
and then loosing coolant.apparentl;y this is another famous Toyota
quality control problem . either the bolts were the wrong type or the
threads were the wrong size but they do work loose on some Toyotas of
those years and the coolant is lost.

I was told by a mechanic that its the constant heating and cooling of
the engine that does it.From cold start-up and then shutdown to cool
off like in a daily driver.
